Vitality score
Vitality score 21.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 6 % of the 13,303 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie

Food shop (Vaulx): 5.3 km to the south-east (straight line). [11]
GP (Vaulx): 4.2 km to the south-east (straight line). [11]
Pharmacy (Vallières-sur-Fier): 5.3 km to the south (straight line). [12]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 65 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [14]
Measured at the USINENS weather station, 10.8 km away at 417 m; the village itself is at 582 m. [14]
The village sits 165 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [14]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [14]
Humidity measured at USINENS SA, 10.9 km away at 452 m, over 20 summers. [14]
That station sits 130 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [14]
An average of 1,132 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [14]
Rainfall measured at VAULX, 4.8 km away at 520 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [14]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Thusy's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
